Case Study.......Anybody know anything??

I was just wondering whether anybody was doing "The Bush Legend" for their case study...................We've been doing it for ages now, but I'm still not entirely sure where the heck I'm meant to be going with it..........Any suggestions, notes, info would be greatly appreciated

I'm doing JFK. I have learned quite a bit about the Vietnam War, Missile Crisis and the man himself. I found it pretty interesting actually... made me stay up for those early history ext. class sessions at 7:30am. Watch Thirteen Days if you want to have more of an idea on the portrayal of Kennedy's personality in the media... apparently if you mention it in ur essay markers will be pleased.

we are studying Tacitus as a case study, it is good because it backs up our work in two unit coz we are doing Augustus and Agrippina

We are doing frontier conflict. It is surprisingly interesting as our case study is literally progressing as we speak. Windchuttle is in the middle of his trilogy of The Fabrication of Aboriginal History and Reynolds and Manne have just released a book whose sole purpose is to refute Windschuttles. Every weekend or so someone writes and opinion piece on this topic so we have too much releevant information to write about. For those next year, seriously consider doing this, it is staright forward easily understandable, information prevalent plus not many people do it so the examiners would be more lenient to marking.

We are doing Western Imperialism. It fits in well with WW1, Japan 1901-37 and the Pacific War. It also has a good link, via its anti colonialism components, with History Wars. We just did an extensive task relating to a document in which Windshuttle provides a particularly good spin defending Western Imperialism...he should seek his rewards working for Bush as chief Spin Doctor.
